LOCALIZING THE CENTRAL SULCUS WITH 95.2% ACCURACY
Ultra-high-density EEG fundamentally changes non-invasive brain mapping. Using 256-channel g.Pangolin recordings with an 8.6 mm electrode spacing, researchers successfully localized the central sulcus with 95.2% accuracy—approaching the precision previously achievable only with invasive cortical recordings.
The study demonstrates how increased spatial sampling enables clear separation of motor and somatosensory cortical activity using somatosensory evoked potentials, opening new possibilities for functional brain mapping, neurosurgical planning, Brain-Computer Interfaces, neurorehabilitation, and cognitive neuroscience.
DECODING INDIVIDUAL FINGER MOVEMENTS
Conventional EEG struggles to distinguish the cortical representation of individual fingers because of its limited spatial resolution. g.Pangolin enables ultra-high-density recordings that capture localized sensorimotor activity with far greater spatial detail.
Using 256 recording channels, researchers decoded individual finger movements and demonstrated focused cortical activation patterns that are largely invisible with conventional EEG systems. These findings establish a new foundation for fine motor Brain-Computer Interfaces, neuroprosthetics, rehabilitation, and motor neuroscience.
IMPROVED HAND GESTURE DECODING

These results support next-generation Brain-Computer Interfaces capable of decoding increasingly complex human movements.
HIGH-RESOLUTION VISUAL CORTEX MAPPING
Ultra-high-density EEG is not limited to motor neuroscience. Using 512 recording channels over the occipital cortex, researchers successfully decoded visual stimuli while identifying distinct cortical activation patterns for different colors.
The increased spatial sampling revealed visual processing features that are difficult to observe using conventional EEG systems, demonstrating the potential of ultra-high-density recordings for vision research, perception studies, visual Brain-Computer Interfaces, and cognitive neuroscience.
SIMULTANEOUS ULTRA-HIGH-DENSITY EEG AND EMG
Understanding movement requires measuring both cortical and muscular activity. g.Pangolin enables synchronized ultra-high-density EEG and EMG recordings, allowing researchers to investigate the relationship between brain activation and muscle recruitment during complex grasping tasks.
The platform combines hundreds of EEG and EMG channels within one synchronized acquisition system, enabling detailed studies of motor control, neuromuscular coordination, rehabilitation, prosthetics, and Brain-Computer Interfaces.
By simultaneously capturing neural activity and high-resolution muscle activation patterns, researchers can investigate how motor commands are generated, transmitted, and executed throughout the neuromuscular system. This provides valuable insights into movement disorders, neurorehabilitation, motor learning, human performance, and the development of next-generation assistive neurotechnologies.
ULTRA-HIGH-DENSITY EEG FOR SPEECH DECODING
One of the biggest challenges in non-invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces is decoding speech from EEG.
